I have searched for some post on Steelmans lease. Not a lot of info on here. Usually no news is good news. Just wanted to throw a new post and see if I could get some updated feed back. Got all my ducks in a row and should start on the 8th with them.

Let's see if we can answer a few questions. Why are you signing on to do a lease purchase with Steelman? Is Steelman offering you a $1.27/mile to pull loads? What are your total expenses for the week? How many miles do you have to run a week to pay those lp expenses. How much are you left with to take home?
If any company is offering you a $1.+ to pull freight as a lp at anytime you are being hoodwinked & bamboozled. When all said & done a company driver is doing way better than a lp driver. The math doesn't add up & the time you have to put in to try to make it. You will burn yourself out.
During this time you can be a company driver making close to if not a 100k enjoying yourself. You can save your money depends on your position put your money away for 2 yrs & put your down payment on your "own" truck ride off in the sunset as you please.
You can learn the business of trucking during that time & you will definitely learn not to hire yourself for a $1/mile. You will not overpay for a shiny long nose machine. When you do answer those questions above I hope you see you can do a lot better. I hope you do get your ducks in right order & take them to a better lake to swim in. All the best to you along your journeyfeldsforever Thanks this. -
Thank you for your comment, I have done a lease purchase for the last 11 years, drove since 1999. I say I have my ducks in a row. Some times I think I really don’t even know where my ducks are . The lease purchase I have been dealing with is a lot different than most. It has been pretty successful, just really curious about Steelmans. I am worried about the mileage pay vs percentage. Have a safe ride

If you have been happy for 11 years why change now? If your going to the per mile pay. Is it only loaded miles, can you self dispatch?

I have been pulling mobile homes, just burnt out. I’m ready to get back to pulling flatbed. From what I hear, it is mileage pay for loaded and empty. Not self dispatch
feldsforever Thanks this. -
